Last night I dreamed I lived in the era of the Italian Rennaisance. I was an artist being tutored and taught by Sandro Boticelli... we interacted and painted together like old friends. It was so much fun!! He was showing me a technique on a painting that looked an awful lot like this one. Her eyes.

Boticelli, happens to be my FAVORITE historical artist and my most favorite depiction of Sandro is via author Kathleen McGowan from her book: The Poet Prince.

"I can only hope that my art will be remembered as a type of poetry, for I have tried to make each piece lyrical and full of texture and meaning. I have long struggled with the thought that perhaps it is against the artist's laws of conduct to reveal the inspirations, symbols, and layers beneath the works that we create...I am part of this timeless tradition. While I am not a poet, here is what I am: I am a painter. I am a pilgrim. I am a scribe. Most of all I am a servant to... The Way of Love... 'Art will save the world'...I pray that this is so, and I have endeavored to play some part, no matter how small, in that very worthy venture.
